what is a Spanish for..

I am never sure what is a polite way to say something like quot; here it is...." or " here you are"

I was not sure if using the imperative was polite enough.

no problem.you are really not saying "TAKE THIS!!!" but rather.. "here you are"...

or you can say "aquí tiene"

actually.. i donīt say anything to anyone when they ask for the boarding pass or train ticket.i just give it to them.
